Getting rid of my dual-EDP+ rig



Hey guys...kind of a newbie lurker here, but I figure this is the crowd to ask, as the subject couldn't be more relevant to your interests...

I took down an ebay auction I had up earlier because I'd had a few offers to buy outright...(one from Australia, one from Chicago).  The guy from Chicago was supposedly gonna pick up my rig here in SoCal, but canceled on me when he saw how far the drive was from LAX Airport. (a couple hours).  He was interested in me shipping it, which I may end up doing, but I thought I'd see if you guys were interested first.   Here's the setup:

One is an Oberheim I received in trade, and invested the money into upgrading to LOOP IV.  Maxed out memory.  The second is a parts unit I got off ebay, which had been stripped of memory, and sold "as-is".  With the help of Andy Ewen from Aurisis, and a fellow named Shane from British Audio (both of whom worked for Gibson building these at one point), I was able to bring it back to life, and it's happily humming away in perfect sync with its older "brother".

So yeah, both have 16MB of memory, and both are running LOOP IV, so essentially both are up to full EDP+ specs.  I'm also running an an 8ch mixer, a Digitech DSP 128+, and a Behringer FCB1010 (everything pictured).  Not a bad rig for a looping beginner, eh?  

Well, alas, it's a bit TOO much for me (i.e. I've been too lazy to dive in and get really good with these things...truly instruments unto themselves), and it's just a shame to have it sitting around, especially when I don't play much lately, and I'm trying to start a business (so I could use some more liquid assets). 

I'm interested in taking offers from this group before I just toss it back up on ebay, and I'll see if someone here wants first crack at it.  If you're interested, either reply to this thread or just hir me up directly.  Either way, make an offer, let me know where I'd be shipping it to (and whether or not your offer includes shipping costs), and I'll let you know!  If there isn't sufficient interest, I'll toss 'em back up on the 'bay, and you can fight with the unwashed masses for them :-p

I could post a video of them in action, but I'm truly an amateur and would be embarrassed to play in front of such an accomplished group (gaggle?) of loopers/

Thanks!
